What's the Engine of Identity?

I think identity, particularly when it is sort of strained through the crimes of history. You know, when your identity is forged in that sense of historical grievance and enmity and resentment,. It is both an empowering thing, and it is also something that reveals very clearly your own vulnerability and your victimhood. We see this everywhere. I heard people in isis and alchita and the talaban say exactly the same thing. On the one hand, look out, powerful we are. Look what we can do. On the other hand, look wat you've done to us, you youno westerners. The emperor is the sun god. Siegin ping is the most powerful man
